DFL: HIRING A CAMPAIGN MANAGER IS A SIGN YOUR CAMPAIGN IS IN TROUBLE
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 23, 2007
As first reported on Minnesota Democrats Exposed, Senator Norm Coleman has hired Cullen Sheehan to manage his re-election campaign. Only in the mind of DFL Party Chairman Brian Melendez is hiring a campaign manager a sign your campaign is in trouble:
"'I think it's clearly a sign that he thinks he's in trouble,' said Brian Melendez, chairman of the Minnesota Democratic Party.
'I don't know of any other [Senate] campaign organization that is in place with a campaign manager at this point in the game,' Melendez continued." Source: Roll Call [subscription required], January 23, 2007

I don’t understand Melendez’ comments? In this day and age of nearly yearly campaigns the fact that this hire happened doesn’t seem to outragous. Coleman is going to be tough to beat as he continues to appeal to the moderate voters.

So is Melendez going to have all DFL candidates run without a campaign manager? I highly doubt that!
Sorry Brian, your comments are really stupid! As soon as even one DFL candidate hires a campaign manager you will look like a hypocrite or are you going to claim that since Norm has one, you need one too?
